The University of Maryland football team takes a lot of teasing over their uniforms. Literally, from head-to-toe and from helmet-to-cleats they are covered in red, white, yellow and black which depicts the flag of the State of Maryland. The university has embraced its state heritage with pride. Its beautiful, colorful and distinctive design is easily recognizable. The design is so popular that apparel is sold across the state from ties and belts to socks and shoes. The flag depicts the family crests of the Calvert and Crossland families, two families who played important roles in the establishment of Maryland, the most uniquely-shaped state in the United States with the Chesapeake Bay cutting through its center.

Naturally, a large flag is displayed at University of Maryland graduations and some graduates decorate their caps with their own version of the flag. I've attended four graduations at Maryland, Bachelors and Masters Degrees bestowed upon two nephews and a niece. (To digress, the best thing about being an aunt is the 'brag factor' … just one of the many things I get away with as an aunt.) In honor of my nephew's recent graduation with his Masters Degree in Engineering-Fire Prevention, I decided to take on the design of the Maryland flag in a cookie. It was my most challenging design to date and I was not sure if I could pull it off. It took some planning as I could not include all the flag details but aimed to capture the essence of the flag. The airbrush gun and stencils were key and I was delighted with the outcome. Come see!
